As the title says, I am looking for a small surface grinder.
I do not do a lot of grinding, but it has come up often enough recently that I figure I should get one for my shop. ( currently have access to a Delta surface grinder, buts it's a bit rough)
I ideally would like something with as small a footprint as possible, and of "decent quality". I am no fan of chinese machinery. I prefer made in North America, or Europe.
As for the indended work, I am usually just grinding for finish, and occasionally to remove that last 0.001". No need to hold tenths all day long.
A 6x12 would probably do 95% of my work. ( I like the look of a Brown and Sharpe 510)
I really don't have much budget either. $1500-$2000
So...
Could any one suggest some machines for me to start looking for?
Thanks
Peter
